First Pogues gig and truly enjoyed it. I was a bit worried when they went off stage that they weren't going to play my favourite song , Sally Mac. Don't think the bottle were aimed at the band think, a couple of drunk people throwing their beer randomly or trying to hit the security at the front. O...
